the mountain may be heavy in and of itself, but if you're not trying to carry it it's not heavy to you- Ajaan Suwat

"When we transcend one level of truth, the new level becomes what is true for us. The previous one is now false. What one experiences may not be what is experienced by the world in general, but that may well be truer. (Ven. Nanananda)

“I hope, Anuruddha, that you are all living in concord, with mutual appreciation, without disputing, blending like milk and water, viewing each other with kindly eyes.” (MN 31)

Thank you all. Hope these photos provided some inspiration. The people of Laos were very kind and warm to me. I can't say enough about their hospitality. The same could be said about the rural areas along the Mekong in Thailand. Laos is a very chill country that I would recommend visiting if one gets the chance. Considering all that the people of Laos have been through, I have the highest respect that they still welcome foreign visitors with an incredible degree of good will.
